cornyn: i thank my colleague from indiana. i just want to respond briefly to the senator from massachusetts. this isn't an assessment that i have made that taiwan needs these aircraft. this is one made by the department of defense and there -- in their 2011 report on military -- china's growing military power. and they detailed the increasingly precarious situation in the taiwan strait, stating that china seeks the capability to deter taiwan independence and influence taiwan to settle the dispute on beijing's terms. so it's clear from both the press reports from the state newspaper, the very bellicose comments that this is really an attempt by the mainland china, the people's republic of china, to intimidate not only taiwan but also the united states. and we should not give in to that intimidation. this chart which i've pointed to earlier demonstrates the growing imbalance in the taiwan strait. this is why these additional aircraft are needed. the red one is 2,300 operational combat aircraft from the people's republic of china
